On A1 is Grierson's hdp of four putti flanking a fountain, with the left side corners both broken off (soon after 1727-28 the left center will be cut off to regularize that side); it also appears broken on a1 of vol. 1 and A1 of vol. 4 of Grierson's edition of The Spectator 1728. The tailpiece on p. 293, with two hairy-headed putti or boys holding an oval with a descending radiant dove is also on the title-page of vol. 1 of Grierson's 1728 edition of The Guardian, T166485. Most of this 12mo issue of The Spectator is shared (including the ornaments noted) with the 8-vol. octavo issue 'by and for' Grierson, called the 11th edition, with title-pages dated 1748 and indicating the presence of translated mottoes (T207854). While the 12mo set has all The Spectators in numerical order, the 8vo begins to selectively print numbers after no. 3 (until which point the editions share settings), leaving out nos. 4, 6, etc. and others up to nos. 199-200; then in Vol. 3 the 8vo prints all left out up to no. 200 and proceeds to print all issues in sequence. The 12mo and 8vo issues share the same settings in the prelims of all volumes and, apart from directional line differences (signatures), throughout the text and indices of vols. 4-8. The appended leaves with supplemental mottoes in English found in [this] 1754 reissue are in Grierson's 1748 reissue (at least the Kansas copy on ECCO) and appear in a 13th edition for Peter Wilson, 1748, 8 vols. 12mo, N24133. These few leaves appended to each volume were printed [by S. Powell] for Philip Crampton, both for separate sale and to supplement his 8-vol. 12th edition of 1737."--James Edward May; binding tight ; unique; VG.…
